Presidential Candidate vs. SciOly Events

[Luigi]

My main events are Food Science, Water Quality, Crime Busters, and Anatomy. I must say that all of the Republican candidates are very similar in what they stand for. The main differences are in if they could survive a General Election with Obama (who is a great campaigner). However, I think Romney seems so superficial, Gingrich has too much baggage from being Speaker of the House to survive in a General Electoin (even though he'd probably make a great president), and Ron Paul is (no offense) kind of crazy. This leaves Santorum, so I guess he's my choice!

[Hosj]

My events are Microbe Mission, Meteorology, Awesome Aquifers, and Reach for the stars.

I don't really love any of the candidates, but I'm a strong democrat, so I'll say Obama. Hillary Clinton would have been better.

[Zoobanks]

Disease Detectives, Dynamic Planet, Optics, and Water Quality. I fully support Ralph Nader 2012.... Wait he's not running? Oh. Well I guess who ever the Green Party nominates then. Must be all the environmental events

[cnapun]

DP, Road Scholar, Bottle Rocket, and Compute this

Vermin Supreme is the best candidate, then Obama

[cngu23]

Water Quality, Optics, Remote Sensing, Protein Modeling

Somewhat liberal (Obama)

[gigaboo]

Water Quality, Technical Problem Solving, Anatomy & Physiology, and Protein Modeling. Jon Huntsman would have made a great president, especially when it comes to foreign policy. Unfortunately, he wasn't used to the lack of ethics in politics and not enough people took him seriously enough to even consider him. I guess I'll be voting for the next most intelligent and compromising: Romney.

Santorum is probably the least likely to be able to win the general election. Romney is the only one who really has a chance.

I do aquifer, disease, microbe,bottle rockets, keep the heat- and fully support Stephen Colbert for president.

[bentley8]

disease, protein, ex des, tps..

Im somewhat of a social liberal and fiscal moderate, I do not love Obama, but he is so much better than any of the GOP "candidates" (except for I guess Paul, who I do not consider to be a Republican)

[foreverphysics]

I do nine events (Anatomy, Forestry, Experimental Design, Reach For the Stars, Optics, Dynamic Planet, Meteorology, Mission Possible, and Keep the Heat) and I don't give a crap about who becomes president.

[Sunshine Ninja]

I live in hippy/liberal towm USA and go to one of the "Greenist" schools in america... try and guess who do you think id vote for

[ReBobville]

Well, it's nice to see that people from different political backgrounds are all excited/freaking about about science olympiad.

Events: Rad Scholar, Meteorology, Reach for the Stars (I have conflicts at states) (why wont the smilies work for me?!?!?!?!)

OBAMA 2012!!!!!!!

[rkoopma2]

I do Disease Detectives, Anatomy, Optics, Microbe Mission, Dynamic Planet, Towers, and Keep the Heat.

I proudly say that I support Barack Obama.

OBAMA 2012!!!

He is the only candidate out there that knows how to get things changed, who actually understands the American people, and who actually understands the global situation. Although he is not the perfect man, he is trustworthy, highly intelligent, and caring.

(Sorry if this sounds like wierd campaign rhetoric... I just feel strongly about him )

What has he changed?
I mean, he passed the health care bill that the majority of the country disapproves of (and it looks like the individual mandate will be declared unconstitutional)
He passed the stimulus bill, promising that unemployment wouldn't go above 8% - that turned out to be a failure.
And overall he's increased the deficit more in 3 years than Bush did in 8.

Right on!

Obama, or any other President can't pass bills/make laws. He can lobby Congress, but he really can't doing anything other than order someone to be sniped, a country nuked. He can also pardon criminals. Executive Orders cannot make new laws, it can clarify or act to further a law put forth by the Congress or the Constitution.

Even though I don't agree with many of his policies, he has done a good enough job running the executive branch.

Presidents get too much of the blame and glory of Congress's decisions, put on them by uneducated people. Sadly, there are too many of them. To get these people, you gotta use slogans, banners, and logos. Can't really blame Obama for that.
